Hengdian Group Dmegc Magnetics Co. Ltd. has 8 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 7 distinct examiners across 5 art units, indicating broad examiner distribution with repeated art-unit activity.
GROOMS, NOA WILLIAM FRAN is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. Those matters may benefit from coordinated treatment of shared materials concepts, while the other actions require separate review of examiner-specific objections and cited technology.
The assignment pattern supports centralized portfolio management without a uniform response strategy. Counsel should maintain consistent terminology and disclosure positions while adapting amendments to each art-unit and examiner context.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 4 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
